Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance) >Food & Dining > Dan Mc Guiness Irish Pub
1538 Demonbreun St, Nashville, TN | Directions 3720336.152581 -86.791339
Mon. - Sun. 11am - 3am
Love this place! – Have a great time every time I go. Great burgers, and very friendly staff. Highly recommend.
good bar besides one racist – This an absoulutely disgusting place im not going to say specifics but the owner quinn is a racist if if thats the real owner and if not I apologize for the rating of this bar besides for one racist its a nice bar its 2012 quinn grow up the north won black males are free to walk in you bar i wont get you but karma will
Not Worth Your Time – The atmosphere was mediocre at best and the staff was rude and unhelpful. Also, the bands that they schedule don't come onstage until over an hour past when they're supposed to. I was looking forward to trying the food, but unfortunately after standing there for 3 hours without finding an open table I left. I would definitely not waste my time there again, or recommend it to anyone.
Great bar food, but uninspired beer selection and too smokey – This is really about the Franklin location, but I imagine the review should suffice for the Nashville location as well (at least in regards to food and beer).
This place has some of the best, reasonably-priced bar food I've had in a LONG time. The Reuben is delish, as are the chicken tenders, and the deep-fried cheese and sausage satays. I've yet to have bad food there.
My only caveat is that the beer menu is typical at best. They have all the generic crap you can get at any bar (Guiness, Harp, Smithwicks), but nothing really great from the Island. There are so many beers that are much better than what they serve. I'd kill to get some Old Speckled Hen on tap (or even in a can) to go with my meal. Technically not Irish, but there are other beers on the menu that aren't Irish either.
I think if they expanded the foreign beer selection, I'd be there with greater frequency. As it is, I usually go to Boscos, just for the beer. But sometimes you really want a greasy Reuben and a great beer. Dan McGuiness only gives you the first half of that equation.
That, and (at least in Franklin) it's 21 plus only, So, the place is always saturated with smoke. It puts a dent on the enjoyment of any meal.
Never made it past the door – When the doorman said to my companion, "I'll need to see your ID but not your mom's" that was enough for me. Neither of us will ever go back. I would give zero stars if I could.
A great time for all ages!! – I recently came to town to visit my daughter who is in school, and she suggested we go to dinner at Dan McGuinness, we ended up staying all night!! I ordered an appetizer called Sausage n Batter which was fabulous and plenty of food for a few people and then I tried the Irish sampler which I ate all of even though I was stuffed!! It was great! I was impressed at how many different beers they had on tap. After all that food I didn't want Guinness and our server suggested some other fantastic beers instead. The service really impressed me, our server chatted with us suggesting other things in Nashville to check out. We stayed that night and listened to Irish music on the patio, which was a little rustic, but heated and covered for the winter weather. My overall experience at Dan McGuinness was top notch! I would suggest going there for anyone of any age. My daughter and I both had a stellar time! Most of all the charm of the pub and excellent service was memorable. The staff made you feel like you were a part of their family! keep up the great work!
Best spot in Nashville!!!!! – I am a new resident of Nashville but have been visiting for years. I have been to Dan McGuinness when visiting, and feel so lucky that it is my new hangout. The food is fantastic, my favorite being the fish n chips, but other items on the menu are great when you are not in the mood for fried food. They also have healthy items like wraps and sandwiches, and of course excellent salads. These salads are not all wilty lettuce drenched in dressing, but you get a cold plate with fresh greens, ample toppings, and various homemade dressings on the side. The staff provides excellent service whether you are sitting at the bar or at a table. You can tell the employees there love that bar as much as my friends and I do. When you go to Dan McGuinness you feel like you are in a place that someone has taken care to handpick each item on the menu, as well as each friendly staff member that works there. I would recomend this Irish pub to visitors and residents alike. On the weekend there is a band on their patio and it turns into a fun nightlife atmosphere, but during lunch and dinner hours, it is great for a low key meal and a pint or two. Hope you enjoy this place as much as I do!!
Best Irish Bar in Nashville and Cool Springs – I have visited both locations in downtown and cool spings and have been very satisfied with the food and the service. The shepherd's pie and fish n chips are the best this side of the pond. They both offer music on fridays an saturdays ( Cool Springs) and Sundays (Downtown) with Nosey Flynn, the best irish duo in the south. Downtown has more of a bar feel and the party is on with live rock bands on friday and saturdays, while the cool springs location is a little more upscale but has a rockin karaoke on wednesday night. Above all they pour a perfict pint of Guinness. Plus the servers and bartenders are cute
Spoiled Food. Terrible Service. – I visited this establishment last night with several of my friends. The service and food were terrible beyond belief. Our problems started when we ordered our food. Two people in our party ordered potato soup. They thought the soup tasted sour, so they asked the waitress about it who checked and found that the soup was spoiled. I ordered my food TWICE, but after everyone else in my party had eaten (well everyone except the two who were served tainted soup), I still hadn't received my order. We also had to beg to get drink refills which were only forthcoming after everyone had finished eating. The manager came to our table to assure us that the tainted food wouldn't make anyone ill and he comped some drinks for us. However, neither he nor the waitress were very apologetic about the horrendous food and service at their establishment. In short, I wouldn't recommend going there for anything other than perhaps a quick drink at the bar.
too bad for you... – This was one of my favorite restaurants, and now I cant even go. If this place would be smart they'd ban smokers. Or at least at just on of their locations. Studying marketing, I believe that this was a poor decision to make it a smoking place. But thats just me. Now I just have to go find another restaurant to enjoy my sausage and batter at! The sad thing is i brought a lot of people everytime i went. Which mean good business for you! Now, unfortunately you'll never get that!

I don't like the way the mermaid appears, it seems a little too fantastic, if you know what I mean. I think having her fall out the sky or something would be more interesting than giving a weird, hand-waved explanation involving the sea and sky 'connecting'. I also think you'd need to foreshadow the appearance of the mermaid rather than just having it happen at random after he goes home.
Other than that, though, I like this significantly more than most of the story ideas that get posted here. It has a pleasingly 'fairytale' ring to it, like some of the old European folk tales, and if you executed it correctly it could be very interesting. On the other hand, it could be terrible if you did it badly (anime tropes would turn this into an abysmal Moe-style story), but that applies to everything. It's not cliché-ridden, though, and the concept is somewhat original, so I think you should give it a shot and look forward to reading the end product.
Manga is harder to write than pure prose precisely because it utilises fewer words: what little there is needs to make as much of an impact, when combined with the images, as a large quantity of text would in a novel. You shouldn't forsake writing skills entirely unless you plan on having a partner to do all the writing for you.Originally Posted by ShaunG

WESTPORT - On Thursday, novelist Russell Banks will moderate a conversation between two New Yorkers, one convicted more than 30 years ago under the Rockefeller Drug Laws, the other his recreation leader working for the state Department of Corrections at a minimum-security facility in the Adirondacks.
The two men reunite to talk with one another and the audience about the impacts of the drug war on their lives, their families, and their communities.
The event is sponsored by John Brown Lives!, a freedom education and human rights project based in the Adirondacks that uses regional history to unite communities in conversation, celebration and commemoration to examine the past and address the critical issues of our time.
This conversation launches JBL!'s latest initiative, The Correction - a series of community conversations, film screenings and other events designed to spark dialogue about the 'War on Drugs' and the prison-building boom and policy of mass incarceration that transformed the North Country landscape and the lives of millions of New Yorkers.
It will take place at Northwoods Inn, Main Street, Lake Placid. Doors will open for a social gathering at 7 p.m. with refreshments (cash bar for alcoholic beverages) and the conversation will begin at 7:30.
The event is free and open to the public though donations are welcome.
Other events in the series include:
Independent scholar Amy Godine will talk about the political origins of placing penitentiaries and prisons in the North Country. She will speak at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Northwoods Inn in Lake Placid.
John Brown Lives! was awarded a $10,000 Project Director's Grant from the New York Council for the Humanities for The Correction.
For more information, contact Martha Swan, executive director of John Brown Lives!, at 518-744-7112 or visit John Brown Lives! on Facebook.

LittleBigPlanet 2 Confirmed by Game Informerby Brian Leahy, May 07, 2010 6:00pm PDT
The June issue of Game Informer, which will have a cover story about Gears of War 3, will also include an article on LittleBigPlanet 2, which has not yet been announced by Sony.
It has, however, previously been stated by Media Molecule that it was working on a sequel. Last month, a musician confirmed that one of his songs had been licensed for LittleBigPlanet 2.
No surprise here, but definitely cool to know that we'll be getting details on the sequel soon. The timing should also mean it will be shown at E3 2010 in June.

Yes, we had a great time, the girls loved making terrariums (they're magical) and haven't stopped talking about them at school. I think this would be a wonderful "grown up" party theme as well! If I ever had a craft weekend I'd invite you all over to make them : )

Fremont teen safe after air, land search
Wood said police launched the search about two hours after she was first reported missing because she had made no contact with anyone and there had been no activity on her cell phone. Police were able to trace her phone, but there had been no movement, Wood said.
"That's when we became concerned," he said. "It was also getting colder and getting dark and we were aware that she wasn't dressed for the cold weather."
A state police helicopter assisted with the search of the area around her neighborhood in the Tuck Woods housing development.
Nearly five hours after she left home, the teenager showed up at a residence on Route 111A in Brentwood and asked to use a phone to call home.
Wood said she was "just a little cold," but otherwise OK.
Fremont police were also assisted by officers from Brentwood, Bedford, Kingston, and Newton.

The impressive tropical mountains of Ko Adang loom over Ko Lipe like a protective uncle, and its rugged jungle terrain makes for a refreshing break from the packed beaches of Lipe, or a quiet, nature-oriented experience for those who want to skip Lipe altogether. With its pristine old growth forests, plenty of hiking trails, ocean viewpoints, deserted whitesand beaches, excellent snorkelling and secluded waterfalls, Adang is well worth the trip.
Passengers are dropped off on the beach and can walk up to Adang's Information Centre, where the friendly park officials provide accommodation and activity info.

The company modestly beat Wall Street's expectations, which were unnaturally low, having been spoon-fed by the company during its Q2 IPO process.
"These earnings are meh," one equities analyst just told us over IM.
Click here to see Facebook's second quarter in charts >
The stock is down more than 9% in after-hours trading. It's trading below $25 for the first time.
Ad revenues were up 28% year-over-year on a quarterly basis.
That beats Wall Street's gimme estimates of 19%, but it's more worrisome revenue deceleration from a company that has a revenue multiple of 15X.
By comparison, Google's business grew 21% from a much larger base (~$40 billion annual revenues) during the second quarter. Its revenue multiple is only 5X.
Given the ongoing deceleration of Facebook's growth rate, it is laughable that people were recently saying that Facebook would quickly become bigger than Google. If it ever does become that big, it won't be because of its current ads business, that's for sure.
Facebook's profits are basically flat year-over-year because its operating profit margin has decreased. That's not good news for the stock (this was supposed to be a growth story). The margin is down because Facebook is investing, which is smart, but it's hurting the company's profitability.
Here's a link to the earnings press release.
- Revenue of $1.18 billion vs. $1.147 billion consensus.
- Non-GAAP EPS of $0.12 vs. $0.12 consensus.
- Advertising revenues were $992 million versus a $921 million consensus.
- Active users are 955 million. Daily use is 552 million.
- 543 million mobile users.
Facebook hel a conference call to go through earnings at 5PM EST today. We took notes.
Here are the highlights:
- Zuckerberg says Facebook doesn't need to build its own phone.
- Facebook says it didn't ramp up its most promising new ad unit, Sponsored Stories, until June.
- Facebook said Sponsored Stories revenue was $1 million per day, half coming from mobile.
- Facebook refused to forecast 2H revenues because it is rolling out Sponsored Stories cautiously.
- Zuckerberg said Facebook will continue to buy companies for talent, and that Instagram was an exception.
- Sandberg said advertisers get 3X or 5X ROI on Facebook ads.
- Zuckerberg said that for now, Facebook's plan is to build out a platform and allow other companies to connect users. That might change in the future, he said.
- Sandberg said Fab.com is a good example of how commerce can be done on the Facebook platform, with 20% to 40% of traffic coming from Facebook.
5:02 PM We're going through disclaimers about forward-looking statements
5:04 PM Zuckeberg takes the phone
5:05 PM Zuckerberg is talking about mobile.
He expects 4 to 5 billion people to have smartphones. Building great services for the devices is important. People are adopting Facebook mobile services. 540 million. 67% more than the 325 million using it a year ago. These people are more active Facebook users. Mobile users are 20% more likely to use Facebook on any given day.
5:07 PM Zuckerberg: "We're investing heavily in improving our mobile apps."
He says primarily across iOS and Android.
He talks about Facebook Camera, Instagram, et al.
Going forward, he says, expect improvment.
We can advertising in mobile he said: Sponsored Stories have "grown quickly and demonstrated early success."
5:09 PM Now Zuckerberg talks about Facebook's platform strategy
We've already scene how social dynamics can transform industries like gaming, and we're seeing this happen in other industries like music.
He says Facebook allows apps to scale and grow quickly through Facebook distribution.
He says, to paraphrase, We can imagine a day where you buy a new car and you connect it with Facebook and it lights up with music and information provided to you by your friends.
He says Facebook's mobile platform is bigger than you think. It's not just games.
5:09 PM People are sharing a billion pieces of content through Open Graph, says Zuckerberg
5:11 PM Mark Zuckerberg talks about social ads.
The best type of advertising is a message from a friend. The more advertising includes interesting content from people you care about. Advertising on Facebook today is giving a good ROI, but it can be better and more social.
One important aspect of social ads is that they go to mobile and desktop. Social ads in News Feed are good for ads in mobile.
By the end of June, sponsored stories revenue was $1mm per day in revenue, half coming from mobile.
5:14 PM Now Sheryl Sandberg has taken the line.
She says Facebook is word-of-mouth marketing at an unprecedented scale.
We believe we are well-positioned to compete for marketing dollars throughout the marketing tunnel: from demand generation to the demand fullfillment.
Search has been doing most demand fullfillment. Facebook has had some, in gaming mostly.
Demand generation is the big target, though.
How Facebook has improved advertising
1. Rolling out new ad products.
2. Demonstrating ROI.
3. Making it easier for busines to advertise.
5:16 PM Sheryl explains Facebook's new ad products
She's talking about Sponsored Stories, where an advertiser can highlight something normal users say about their product to that user's friends.
Early results: Sponsored Stories perform multiple times better than ads in the right-hand column. They are the cornerstone of Facebook's ad strategy.
Sponsored Stories work on mobile because they go into the news feed, and Facebook avoids the "where do we put ads on a smaller screen" problem that others face.
There has been strong interest from clients asked if they want to buy sponsored stories just for mobile. Already $1mm day in revenue, with half in mobile.
5:17 PM Sheryl talks about Facebook ad exchange
We're in an early alpha test, but interest is strong. Emarketer estimates its a $2 billion market in the US.
5:18 PM Facebook ads drive 98% better ad recall than non-facebook ads, says Sheryl
5:20 PM More on ROI from Sandberg
Independent analysis of 60 campaigns, 45 of which happned in 1H, 70% returned on ad spend 3X or better. 45% returned 5X or better.
Electronic Arts advertised Battlefield Earth and got great returns (missed the numbers, sorry).
Barclays Cards targeted NFL credit cards ads to users based on the teams they like. 60% of improved credit card applications from the campaign came from Facebook.
Wooga increased downloads by 26% in US at an attractive cost per app install using Facebook ads.
5:21 PM Sandberg talks about local advertising
Facebook is uniquely accessible to local advertisers because they are already setting up personal accounts. 11 mm businesses have pages on FB. 7mm are used every month. Hundreds of thousands of small businesses advertise on FB.
Last quarter tested making it easier. Page owners can turn a post into an ad with a few clicks.
For the rest of 2012, the focus will be on ramping up sponsored stories in news feed.
5:22 PM Now it's time for David Ebersmann, the CFO
5:23 PM Stats!
18% increase in the numnber of ads delivered, 9% increase in price.
Add impressions growth is slower than user-growth as people go mobile, this is despite more ad units per page on the Web.
5:25 PM More Stats
Asia and other markets are doing better in terms of pricing. The fast volume growth does reduce worldwide price per ad.
European price per ad decreased due to the macro environment there.
Ebersmann says FB will increase the number of sponsored stories, can target them better, can increase demand by selling them better.
5:25 PM Payments stats
Gaming payments are flat, Ebersmann believes, because gaming in general is growing on mobile where Facebook does not do payments.
5:27 PM User numbers
955mm users
552 daily active users
Brazil, India, and Japan were contributors.
58% of users were active contributors.
Strong engagement is the foundation for everything we're trying to accomplish.
Facebook reviewed its geographic measurements. It also refined and improved its measurement of dupe accounts. This lead to an increased number of dupe accounts estimated by the company.
5:29 PM Expenses
Biggest factor were employee stock compensation.
Headcount increased 50%. FB is hiring in mobile, platform and monetization.
In 2H, expenses should increase significantly over last year, higher than the rate in Q2. At this early stage, investment is a priority, not margins.
5:30 PM Taxes should go down over time.
5:30 PM Cash and investments: $2.2 billion
5:31 PM Time for questions!
5:33 PM Spencer Wang from Credit Suisse: Wants to know how FBX will impact monetization, wants to know about Yahoo patent deal
Sheryl's answer: FBX's goal is to show more relevant ads. We're at a very early alpha stage test. We're really encouraged by how interested our advertisers are.
On Yahoo deal: There is a cross-license. Also will work with Yahoo on tentpole events. She congratulations Marissa Mayer, the new CEO of Yahoo.
5:35 PM Analyst asks: Are younger people still using Facebook? Wants to know how big the company will be?
Mark answers.
Steady growth in engagement among all the cohorts, including younger ones.
We've always been signifcantly smaller per employee compared with the number of people we serve in the world. Says people love working at Facebook because of that. It's also part of strategy, he says. He says Facebook builds the platform, not the apps because of its limited human resources. "Over time it might make sense for us to build some of these things ourselves."
For the foreseeable future we're going to be way smaller than comparable companies.
5:38 PM Analyst: Do you think you need to own the entire experience (an integrated device) or is better to be an app?
Mark answers.
Facebook is the most used app on every mobile platform. He says, we want to increase the depth of the experience in addition to just growing users. We want to not just have apps that people use, but we want to support a development ecosystem. That's why we did the iOS integegration…there is a lot we can do "Without building out a new phone which wouldn't make much sense for us to do."
5:40 PM Analyst asks a question about ad pricing for Sponsored Stories
Ebersmann answers.
We have a limited amount of volume. We're working with advertisers to increase demand. We're creating better types of content that advertisers can sponsor to make it a good experience for consumers.
5:41 PM Analyst asks: What % of ads are social
Sandberg answers.
Fewer than half. Working to increase that. Better engagement. Sponsored Stories will help.
5:45 PM Analyst: Are their ads other than Sponsored Stories that are doing well in testing? Why has DAUvsMAU ratio declined?
Sheryl answers.
We're also seeing good results from other ads that have social context. FBX is early, but we show promising results for advertiers. We're also optimistic about early testing around mobile. What people do there is look at their News Feed and share. Ads in News Feed therefore make sense on mobile. Advertisers get a high ROI.
Ebersmann takes second question.
We made some changes to background pinging. When phones contact our services without a user being on the other end, we don't count that as usage. That had some impact. There are some drops due to holidays.
5:49 PM Analyst: Will Facebook make more acquisitions like Instagram? Is 2Q the lowest quarter of the year in terms of growth?
Mark answers.
The acquisition hasn't closed so there has been no integration.
"Our strategy has been to buy companies for talent." Excluding Instagram, that is must of our acquisitions and it will be going forward.
Ebersmann takes the second question.
When we look at 2H this year, we will make optimizations: drive demand, better targeting, etc. The big priority and oppty is Sponsored Stories. It's difficult to forecast what that will look like. We didn't ramp up Sponsored Stories until June. We feel like we're a in a good position. The forecasting is difficult because we're going to proceed slowly. We don't want to move quickly because we don't want to hurt user-engagement. We will learn what kind of speed of ramp up works for us.
5:52 PM Analyst: What's taking so long with Sponsored Stories? What's taking so long on local?
Sheryl answers.
Looking at user-reaction.
Limiting the number we roll out. We intend to be cautious as we work on user-perception. Have not rolled out across all counties.
Sheryl answers the second question.
More than 40% of local business have no Web presence at all. Facebook has a huge advantage because those local business owners are using Facebook as users. When they use the product they see messages from other business. The product that we want them to use, Pages, is a lot like their own user profile. The leap is smaller.
5:56 PM Analyst: Want to know about the optionality of the Facebook platform: is their potential in commerce and video?
Mark answers.
The basic approach we have for now is that we are building out the platform and other companies are building on top of that. You can view this is an ads and payments business, or you can view us as a platform that will transform industries and get some portion of the value for that. The media companies that are building on Open Graph, we aren't contributing as much value as we did with games, so the value coming back to Facebook is less. Over time, more nuanced experiences will become social. We'll build out the tools to get those products built and we'll build to capture the value.
Sheryl offers an answer too.
The commerce companies that really adapting social are seeing great responses. Fab is one. It's seeing 20% to 40% of its traffic from Facebook on a daily basis. We look at what people's shopping behavoirs are and want to be a major part of how people discover products.
6:00 PM Analyst: What's taking so long in ads? Will their be paid apps in the App Center? Do you regret anything about the IPO?
Sheryl answers.
We're still in that learning curve that took TV and search so long. The good news is that our ROI results are strong – 3X and 5X. They are truly good. Our view is that our ads work, and if they continue to work we will be able to educate the market over time. We're on a good part of our growth trajectory.
Second question: no.
Ebersmaman answers last question. Obviously we're disappointed in where the stock is trading, but we think we are the same company we were before and that we'll be there in the long term.
6:02 PM Analyst: Why are Sponsored Stories taking so long? (popular question)
Mark answers.
We have robust systems built around metrics in the News Feed. What we've seen is we can put in good sponsored content and not have it degrade those metrics. We're rolling out Sponsored Stories conservatively because we want to keep the quality high.
6:04 PM Analyst: Will Facebook's preferred marketer developer numbers grow?
Sheryl answers.
We're optimistic. We want to make everyting people do social. We focus on how many developers are using our tool, how many of those apps are growing quickly, and how many are using ads. We're going to provide the ID and social layer for everything across Web and social layer. If you're choosing to develop a service, you'd choose to do it with us. We consider ourselves a partner company. We want to take social companies and make them big, and take big companies and make them social.

Loops, Ladders and Wind-Up Birds
Exploring Brooklyn-based composer Ryan Francis's box of musical toys
Monday, February 20, 2012
Among diverse cast of characters informing Brooklyn-based composer Ryan Anthony Francis's musical language are author Haruki Murakami, artist M.C. Escher and poet Wilhelm Muller. Hear what they've told him this week at 11 am and pm on Hammered!.
You can hear Escher in the interlocking motivic infinities in Francis's Etude "Jacob's Ladder", Murakami's polished elegance in the Wind-Up Bird Preludes, and Muller's prophetic solemnity in Consolations.
This is to say nothing of the musical personalities sitting on his other shoulder, a lineup of composers beginning with Frederic Chopin and filing through Henri Dutilleux and Richard D. James of Aphex Twin. Each of these voices are considered, adapted and synthesized by Francis into an aggressively original musical language that uses nuance, precision and stylistic-variance to create music that is at once lush, probing and inventive.
Accompanying Hammered!'s week-long survey of his piano music are works that interact with Francis's language in especially intriguing ways. You'll hear songs by Franz Schubert, movements from Harrison Birtwistle's Harrison's Clocks, a recent work from Arlene Sierra and, to balance Francis's mammoth Moonlight Fantasy, a remarkable performance from pianist Sergei Babayan of Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit.
What other piano-composer portraits would you like to hear on Hammered! ?

LAPD says last night was fairly quiet, one incident provoked crowd control weapons
Courtesy of LAPD
Foam rubber batons are used to disperse crowds.
Though Kings victory celebrations were generally pretty tame last night, one incident ended in police using foam rubber baton rounds to send celebrants scattering.
According to LAPD Commander Andy Smith, a group of troublemakers that police had been keeping their eyes on started banging on a city bus, trying to break its windows and possibly flip it over.
So officers fired a 37mm gas gun — essentially a barrel you can shoot different kinds of things out of — filled with packs of black, rubber, barrel-shaped pellets. The pellets look, ironically, like small hockey pucks, but are apparently much softer and squishier, with a consistency akin to a ball of athletic tape. When they're shot, there's a flash of light and a bang. The rounds are fired at the ground and bounce indiscriminately. If they hit a person, ideally in the legs, they sting and can leave a bruise.
A flurry of forged Kings tickets are accumulating around the Staples Center
Erika Aguilar/KPCC
L.A. Kings hockey fan Mark Hollister looks to buy last minute tickets for Game Four of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Scalpers with fake tickets will ice your dream of seeing Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals, say police, who are warning Kings fans to be careful about bogus tickets.
Scalpers with fake tickets will ice your dream of seeing Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals, say police, who are warning Kings fans to be careful about buying tickets off the street for Monday's game.
The LA Kings could capture their first Stanley Cup title if they emerge victorious in Game 6 over the New Jersey Devils. Authorities are concerned that the excitement may produce an increased flurry of forged tickets around the Staples Center.
"People are pretty clever with Photoshop and the other computer things you can do now, and they'll get a real ticket, or they'll get a facsimile of a real ticket, and they'll go ahead make a pretty good reproduction of it," LAPD Commander Andy Smith told KPCC's Ashley Bailey.
"We'll have families come in, put down 400 dollars a ticket, to the tune of $2,000 in one case, and will try and get through the box office with the tickets and find out that they're worthless," said Smith who took in six reports of fake tickets at last week's game.
Puck traffic: Many will 'Go Metro' to Stanley Cup Finals, says transit authority
Bruce Bennett/Getty Images
Davis Drewiske #44 of the Los Angeles Kings warms up against the New Jersey Devils during Game Two of the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Final.
Los Angeles, a hockey town with a movie star problem, welcomes Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals to the Staples Center on Monday night where the L.A. Kings hope to skate into a 3-0 game lead against the N.J. Devils.
The puck drops here at 5 p.m. (PST), forcing sports fans to compete with evening commuters in a battle for lane domination across the city.
Instead of playing king of the road, athletic supporters are encouraged to make public transportation their goal. Metro is preparing for the expected increase in riders.
"During the playoffs a few weeks ago we noticed an increase in ridership...we're expecting a repeat tonight," Metro spokesperson Rick Jager told KPCC. "We'll have personnel out there and expect crowds to accumulate," he said.
Depending on the demand, the transit authority may implement "added train service" at nearby stations to help get people home faster when the game lets out, Jager said. Additional service would mean more cars per train, not an increase in departure frequency, he explained.

so I rented this game hoping for something new to play (and also because there is a pretty small 3ds selection), and this game is that. But beyond that, this game doesn't have much to offer. basically there are a few different games to try, but some of them use 2 fingers/styluses intuitively and...more

Grant Hill reflects fondly on time with Suns, ready to move on
Despite Grant Hill's desire to stay with the Phoenix Suns, it became increasingly clear it was time to move on.
"Sometimes change can be painful but it's just the reality of sports," Hill told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Show Friday. "So it's nobody's fault. I just think if I am an outsider looking in, it's just time and its unfortunate, but that's what it is. That's the reality of it."
Hill inked a two-year, $4 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, who now tout a revamped roster that has improved its depth tremendously.
While Suns fans may have been surprised to hear of Hill signing with the Clippers, the veteran forward said he, too, couldn't have envisioned it happening.
"I'll say this, as of June 30 I wasn't necessarily thinking of leaving Phoenix and I wasn't necessarily thinking about the Clippers," Hill stated.
While it was a tough decision to leave, Hill is ready to start the next chapter with his new squad.
Hill doesn't harbor any ill feelings towards the Suns organization; in fact, he looks back quite fondly on his time in Phoenix.
"Teams go in different directions or it's time," Hill said. "Obviously I really enjoyed the five years that I had the opportunity to play in Phoenix and the organization and the fans."
The 39-year-old veteran will also miss the close relationships he fostered in Phoenix, and of course, ribbing his now former teammates.
"If Jared Dudley ever dunks on me, I am retiring and giving all my money to charity."

New First in Class Treatment Shows Significant Improvements in Glucose LoweringPosted: Sunday, February 07, 2010
The study showed positive results from a recently completed Phase 2 study of LX4211 in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering breakthrough treatments for human disease, obtained positive results from a recently completed Phase 2 study of LX4211 in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. LX4211 is a once-per-day, orally-delivered, small molecule drug candidate that inhibits the sodium-dependent glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2), lowering the accumulation of glucose in the body and reducing caloric load. LX4211, dosed as a single agent, provided improvements in glycemic control, demonstrating statistically significant benefits in the primary and multiple secondary efficacy endpoints.
LX4211 was developed at Lexicon as a potent inhibitor of the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), a transporter responsible for the majority of glucose reabsorption by the kidneys. Lexicon found that mouse knockouts engineered to lack the SGLT2 gene are healthy and require less insulin to manage a glucose challenge. LX4211 may potentially treat diabetes by improving glycemic control as well as providing other metabolic benefits.
"Results from this important first trial of LX4211 in diabetic patients exceeded our expectations," said Dr. Philip M. Brown, senior vice president of clinical development at Lexicon. "Rapid improvement in multiple parameters of diabetes, meaningful weight loss, a favorable safety profile and the fact that LX4211-treated patients exhibited improvements in clinically-important metabolic and cardiovascular parameters within four weeks on a single agent is remarkable."
The recently completed study was a four-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 36 patients with Type 2 diabetes. Patients were randomized to receive either placebo (n=12) or LX4211, 150 mg (n=12) or 300 mg (n=12), once daily for 28 days. Patients were sequestered, provided a controlled diet and monitored closely throughout the study period.
There was a marked decrease in fasting plasma glucose throughout the treatment period in both dose groups, with reductions at week four of 53.4 mg/dl and 65.9 mg/dl in the 150 mg and 300 mg dose groups, respectively, as compared to 15.1 mg/dl for placebo. These decreases in fasting plasma glucose relative to placebo were statistically significant for both LX4211 dose groups (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Notably, a substantial percentage (42%) of patients in the 300 mg dose group achieved fasting plasma glucose levels of <105 mg/dl at week four of dosing as compared to placebo (p=0.037).
Importantly, after only four weeks of dosing, average percent hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a measure of blood glucose levels over time, was significantly reduced by 1.15 in the 150 mg dose group (p=0.036) and by 1.25 in the 300 mg dose group (p=0.017), as compared to 0.49 in the placebo group. HbA1c levels were reduced to less than or equal to 7% for half the patients in both dose groups; baseline levels were 8.22%, 8.50% and 8.20% for the 150 mg, 300 mg, and placebo groups, respectively. Patients in both dose groups also exhibited significantly improved glucose tolerance in response to oral glucose tolerance testing as compared to patients receiving placebo (p<0.001 for both dose groups), as measured by area under the curve (AUC). Consistent with the mechanism of action of LX4211, there was also a significant, dose-dependent increase in 24-hour urinary glucose excretion throughout the study period relative to placebo in both dose groups (p<0.001 at all time points measured).
With respect to broader metabolic and cardiovascular safety parameters, patients in both dose groups showed weight reduction accompanied by decreased blood pressure and triglycerides relative to placebo. LX4211 demonstrated a favorable safety profile in the study with no dose-limiting toxicities. Adverse events were generally mild and equally distributed across all groups, including the placebo group.
"The magnitude and rapid response in glycemic control, combined with the triglyceride reduction, may distinguish LX4211 from other agents in this class," said Dr. Brian Zambrowicz, chief scientific officer of Lexicon. "We now believe that the action of LX4211 cannot be entirely explained by glucose excretion in the urine alone, but may also relate to secondary events that both further enhance glycemic control and provide the other metabolic improvements we have witnessed in this study."

A first peek at the Chinese rate cards for Apple's new iPhonesSeptember 17, 2013: 7:49 AM ET
In China, the $99 iPhone 5C goes for anywhere from 4,488 yuan ($730) to "free."
FORTUNE -- When Apple (AAPL) posted the off-contract price of the entry level iPhone 5C on its Chinese website -- 4,488 yuan including taxes and import fees, or more than $730 -- Wall Street reacted with something akin to sticker shock, driving the company's share price down $56 (11%) in less than a week.
After all, this was the device with which Apple was supposed to reclaim its lost market share in the world's largest mobile phone market. How was it going to do that with a $730 phone?
But now that we've seen the first rate cards from China Telecom (CHA) and China Unicom (CHU) -- the No. 2 and No. 3 Chinese carriers after China Mobile (CHL) -- it's clear that Chinese buyers will have plenty of opportunities to avoid the full unlocked sticker price. Like AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ) and the rest of the U.S. carriers, the Chinese mobile phone operators are subsidizing the new iPhones -- in some cases more aggressively that than their U.S. counterparts.
China Telecom, for example, offers three different plans in which the iPhone 5S, which starts at $199 in the U.S., is free to Chinese buyers -- as long as they are willing to lock themselves into a long and relatively expensive contract.
China Unicom has eight plans that offer the $99 iPhone 5C for "free."
[UPDATE: According to MacRumors, many models of the iPhone 5S, which were available for pre-order in China but not in the U.S., have already sold out in China. Apple U.S., meanwhile, has not issued its usual Monday morning pre-sale sales report, perhaps because sales were light, perhaps because Apple doesn't want to reveal sales numbers for one new model without the other.]
Zero dollars upfront, its turns out, is also an option in Japan and the U.K., as indicated by the chart below, posted Monday by ISI's Brian Marshall.
How well the new iPhones sell at those subsidized prices depends on how onerous the monthly charges turn out to be. According to Bloomberg, China Unicom has already taken 100,000 pre-orders for the iPhone 5C. How that compares to the 300,000 orders it took for the iPhone 5 last year won't be clear until the other new model -- the iPhone 5S -- goes on sale this Friday.
"Carriers across the U.S. (and internationally) are already offering a wide range of price and plan choices for 5c/5s," ISI's Marshall told his clients. "We believe the actual choices consumers have for iPhone adoption (e.g., both upfront and monthly costs) are much more varied than can be captured by a single, unlocked 'sticker' price."
Below: Marshall's chart.
